Mego of the Week : I'll get them Dukes!

[palitoy]

As a kid, I just expected the toys to still be available and was disappointed I had no luck finding them.

I've mentioned it before but I found Big Jim's disappearance in 1977 really traumatizing, i never knew a world without him.

I always loved the Dukes.

The General Lee was light weight enough that it made jumping it off makeshift encyclopedia ramps easy.

Yes, my parents bought me a set of Encyclopedia Britannica LONG before I could even read them. So I used them as building blocks.

I had issues.

I also had bo and luke with the general. I loved racing them side by side with the Magnum P.I. Ferrari with the 3-3/4 Tom Selleck figure. Good Times!!

Another find on commercials but related to the 8 inch line. Check out this video at about 2:49. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y91Qv3cArI8
I was thinking this commercial really makes you see why the 8 inch figures needed the General Lee. In case you have any interest, you can see a Mego Clown Around ad at about 4:18 in the same video.
